From Barks - Dewback patrol (23 points)

I took a breather last week, the side challenges have been a bit of a struggle to fit in- but very satisfying!

So, I'm back with a small entry for Star Wars Tuesday- 2.5 Dewback riders. One Captain (with the orange pauldron) and his offsider, with a bendy shock lance. These are detachable torsos, so I did an extra trooper if I don't want the officer.



"Jones found a quicksand patch, Cap."

I didn't weather them up as per Tatooine sandtroopers, because they won't fit in with my other stormies. I may do it in the future, but I think they look fine for now.\

Alan and Paul: Great figures Barks. They look very clean for patrolling on Tatooine, but the lovely sharp painting make these really pop. Love 'em!

  1. Great stuff Barks. Those dewbacks just seem too friendly to be in Imperial service...

    1. We've got faster than light spaceships, lasers, anti-grav technology- but you two can sit on an affable lizard.

  3. Really fine brushwork on these, Barks! That is some crisp work on the storm trooper armor and the dewbacks look grand in the brown and green!

  8. Smashing job on the tricky white armour and the dewback skin is great.

    1. Thanks, Jamie- the armour is black wash over a white undercoat, then painfully picking out the white again leaving the darker shadows.
